    This is a really good video. I see many vids telling “beginners” to pay $850 for DJI mini2 pro, but that’s such a waste for someone who has never flown, doesn’t know if they’ll enjoy it & isn’t a creator can deduct the cost as business expense. It’s best to learn on a cheap drone & see if u like it. Also I really like the FPV experience a lot more versus my partner who’s in media & has a big licensed drone for video production.

    Would you do a video on various flight controller apps?

Finally, payload lift amount? I'd love to have it carry an Apple track device as I've seen video where it was MIA. Again, screen options a big point for me

    Hey, I've found your videos to be very informative. I want to spend under $200 for my first drone and am looking at xmrc m10 drone, sg906 max 2, and the AE86 PRO MAX RC Drone. I live in the mountains and have some wide open areas to fly from my home, but also have many trees nearby so I think I need obstacle avoidance. Ideally, I want a drone that can fly and transmit up to 3km or further and I need a pretty good camera, preferably one that can capture low light or has the ability to adjust to low light.

    Nice review of cheaper drones. My first cheaper drone was a bad experience. On the plus side it did motivate me to buy a better drone. I bought the DJI mini 2se fly more combo. The cost for the drone, insurance,SD card and tax brought the price to 600 dollars. I appreciate all the time you put into reviewing all of the drones on your list. Not every one wants to spend or cannot afford to buy more expensive drones. Your review gives new drone pilots a more budget friendly option to buy a decent drone. Keep up the good work and happy drone flying.

Are these drones, especially your first listings, compatible, or do I have to purchase another transmitter, or is the transmitter included with the drone? Thanks for your work.

    It might be worth mentioning that even though most sold on Amazon cost more but if there's an issue for any reason their return policy is second to none and you only have to wait a couple days instead of weeks or months compared to Banggood. Some are ridiculously higher but some are in the same ballpark cost wise. Not to mention the packaging where Amazon usually ships in a box and is well protected, while Banggood ships in a bag quite a bit and coming from overseas gets tossed around and whatnot leading to broken or bent parts which is never good for a drone. Even if Banggood ships in a box, it still gets tossed around a lot.

After setup, just plugged it into a power bank and slipped it in my back pocket and instantly got crystal clear video, photos and range was extremely improved. It's a good upgrade for anyone that goes with that drone. Now i fly a DJI Air 2S and don't have those problems 😂
